halo 3 was a great all round experience, except for a somewhat lacking single player experience.
The story mode is insanely fun with 2-4 people, but alone it's crap. Turning on skulls could make for some crazy levels. IMO the hardest level was the covenant. My favorites were halo and flood gate
Innovation wise it had the forge, map editor, and meta points. Soon all three of those will become the standard of fps, especially sci-fi shooters.
To enjoy the story u have to play 1 and 2. The theme song is the best song in gaming and the game has a perfect soundtrack
online is fun because it can go from a social playing with friends game to being an intense clan battle. Not to mention the weekly tournaments there doing now
my favorite part of the game was the forge and user-created maps, pictures, and videos that can be uploaded to bungie.net and stay there for players to download.
U should see how creative some people are like the guys at rooster teeth who created griffball
